F 650 GS
The F 650 GS, despite its familiar designation, is a completely new machine. Along with its bigger brother, the F 800 GS, it is powered by the 798cc parallel-twin engine, albeit in a softer state of tune, which provides plenty of power combined with excellent fuel economy. The bike’s low seat height and light controls make the F 650 GS an easy to handle all-rounder, perfectly suited to newcomers to motorcycling and ideal for everyday use.
F 800 GS
The all-new F 800 GS expands BMW Motorrad’s class leading traditions into the middleweight adventure sports category. The overall package combines balance, power and weight with excellent ground clearance and long suspension travel. The result is a machine with excellent off-road riding performance combined with touring capability.
G 450 X
Entering the competitive 450cc enduro market will be the brand new, no compromise, BMW G 450 X Sports Enduro. This machine will feature an innovative 450cc single cylinder engine and unique chassis design. Having been successfully tested in European and world competition throughout 2007, its entry into the 450cc Enduro market in the middle of next year will see BMW Motorrad continue its philosophy of launching class-leading machinery in competitive new market segments.
R 1200 GS and Adventure
There are also further improvements and developments to the all-terrain big boxer machines – the unchallenged choice of the world’s most adventurous overlanders, including Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman. The new version of the best selling R 1200 GS, and its Adventure variant, benefit from a more powerful engine with improved drive and traction. New for 2008, both models will be offered with the option of a new Enduro version of ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment).
